Regarding Database location in dbfs

[Pavan3]

Hi,

I have used "SET spark.sql.warehouse.dir" which creates the directory by default.Then I have created the database by command "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS database_name;",but when I used "DESCRIBE DATABASE database_name" I could not find the location of database created.Even I tried using "%fs ls dbfs:/",I could not find the directory of database.

Please let me know If anyone knows the solution to find the location.

Hi @Pavan3 ,
If running DESCRIBE DATABASE the location is empty, then was created in the default CATALOG directory.

What you can do is to create any table in that database and run DESCRIBE DETAIL on that table:

Hope it helps
